Sunday Supper at PIg and a Jelly Jar

Jul 02nd 2012

What a great idea:One menu each week. One price. When it's gone, it's gone.Jen Gilroy and Amy Britt, owners of Meditrina and the new Pig and a Jelly Jar, have a knack for finding niches Salt Lakers didn't know needed filling.Like Sunday night supper. We stopped in last evening around 6:30. We ordered-supper. No substitutions, no choices, except of what to drink-we had a bottle of Latour Ardeche Chardonnay and one of us had one of the special PBR cocktails, beer and orange juice. Except she subbed a hefeweizen.

Then we all ate our BLT salad–fresh greens and tomato quarters in a sweet-tart dressing, criss-crossed with thick bacon

and garnished with tiny grilled cheese sandwiches instead of croutons.

Next a plate of polenta-crusted fried chicken breast, firm and juicy, topped with grilled onions, on a bed of smoked pepper and spicy corn "tapenade," with a side of garlicky and slightly soupy mashed potatoes.

We cleaned our plates. And then ate a freshly made doughnut, with a fruit cream and a drizzle of balsamic.

Back home in time for Masterpiece Theater.This could get to be a habit.
